$PECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 365,215, dated June 21,1887.

Application filed September 20, 1856. Serial No. 214,007 (No model.)

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that 1, ROBERT E. WILLIAMS, a citizen of the United States,and a resident of Dallas, in the county of Dallas and State of Texas,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Reflectors forLamps, &c.; and I do hereby declare that the following isa full, clear,and exact description of theinveniion, which will enable others skilledin the IO art to which it appertains to makeand use the same, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawings, which form a partof thisspecification, and in which Figure 1 is a side elevation of my reflectoradjusted to an ordinary lamp. Fig. 2 is a similar view of the sameattached to a lamp and so adjusted as to adapt the lamp for student use.Fig. 3 is a back elevation of the reflector and its means of attachment,and Fig. 4 represents a plan view and cross-scetion of the attachment.

Like letters of reference indicate corresponding parts throughout theseveral figures.

My invention has relation to reflectors for 2 lamps and to means forattaching the same; and it consists in the improved construction andcombination of parts constituting the same, as will be hereinafter fullyset forth.

In the accompanying drawings, A repreo sents the reflector, which is inform an ellipsoidal shell provided near one end with an opening forthelamp chimney and at the other end with means for eonnecting'it to alamp. Said means consist of a flat bail, B, secured to the back of thereflector, through which passes a looped wire, 0, bent in the plane ofthe loop into an are which conforms to the low the reflector to be swungaround thelightto any desired place. The adaptability of the reflectorto be tilted upon its attachment provides for its performing the officeof a shade as well as of a reflector.

This reflector may be made of any desired material, glass or metal, andmay be changed somewhat in shape, if desired.

Having thus fully described my invention,I elaim- In a reflector forlamps, the combination of a collar provided with ahead and having twoholes through said bead, a looped wire the looped portion of which iscurved and the ends of which are also curved and passed through theholes in said collar and rigidly secured within said bead, and ashellthe upper end of which is provided with a hole and the lower with a bailfor securing the same upon the curved portion of said loop.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereuntoaffixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.
